DULZEE is a biostimulant made out of polysaccharides with Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements, it also includes uronic acids that promote the product’s absortion and fast assimilation by the crop. It has a stimulative effect over the crops, improving uniformity, consistency and color of fruits. It promotes sugar formation, raises the sugar contents of the fruits, reducing acidity and therefore speeds up the ripening of the fruits.It is recommended to applicate DULZEE twice: 60-70 days and 30-40 days before harvest to stimulate the plant’s metabolic activity and promote the fruits ripening. Also, because of its high Calcium contents, it promotes the fruits consistency and resistance to handling and transport.

ANITAL is a biostimulant made out of phosphorus and potassium and developed as a source of these elements, it is also enriched with natural phytohormone precursors which promote the fruit formation and development in all kinds of fruit trees and in horticultural fruit crops (strawberry, pepper, courgette, bean, melon, watermelon,…) It is recommended to use ANITAL since blooming or when it is convenient to promote the fruit formation and development. It should be applied several times during the vegetative cycle.

ALGATON is a N-P-K biostimulant made out of natural extracts of marine algae, enriched with Molybdenum. This product has a high stimulating power, because it contains algae extract that provides a high ratio of natural phytohormones (cytokinins, auxins, gibberellins, …), amino acids and carbohydrates (alginic acid, mannitol, laminarine, …) which, once applied, permeates the cellular tissues and has an influence in the plant’s physiological processes, stimulating its growth and blooming. ALGATON is recommended as a stimulant of the plant’s metabolic activity, because the elements it contains promote the process related with blooming, fruit formation and fruit ripening, and also helps to get over adverse conditions or stress situations. It also promotes the fruits homogeneity and their transport resistance. It is recommended to use ALGATON since sprouting, in pre-blooming, blooming and in the stages of higher development of the crop.

In addition, applications of Configure may reduce the height of treated plants, resulting in more compact and marketable crops. Configure is labeled for use on containerized annual and perennial flowering and foliage crops as well as tropical plants.

FOSFITAL CALCIUM is a biostimulant made out of Calcium phosphite and enriched with Nitrogen and Boron which presents a double function over crops: on one hand it acts as a source of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium and Boron. On the other hand, because of its contents in phosphorus in phosphite ion form, it stimulates the self-defense mechanisms of the plants roots, neck, stems and fruits against pathogenic fungi. It is recommended to use FOSFITAL CALCIUM when there is an increased consumption of these elements, like during formation of the root system, blooming, fruit formation, fattening and ripening. It prevents damping and rot diseases in horticultural crops.

These desirable qualities include darker colors, higher chlorophyll content, greater leaf thickness, stronger stems, increased water retention and, at times, increased flower number and size.

FOSFITAL EXTRA is a biostimulant made out of Calcium phosphite which presents a double function over crops: on one hand it acts as a source of phosphorus and potassium. On the other hand, because of its contents in phosphorus in phosphite ion form, it stimulates the selfdefense mechanisms of the plants roots, neck, stems and fruits against pathogenic fungi. It is recommended to use FOSFITAL EXTRA when there is an increased consumption of these elements, like during formation of the root system, blooming, fruit formation, fattening and ripening.

Novagib is a well-known fact that the application of gibberellins GA4 and GA7 can increase fruit size and improve fruit finish in apples. However, research has shown that GA4 is more efficient in delivering these benefits than GA7. And, GA7 adversely affects the level of return bloom significantly more than GA4. In Novagib, Fine Americas employs a unique fermentation process to produce ultra-pure GA4 with insignificant levels of GA7. The result: a highly effective PGR that delivers all the benefits of GA4 without the drawbacks of GA7.
